You home life now has to be bad. Social Services has to come inspect your living situation with your mom right now. If she is a good mom you wont get it. I moved out when I was 17. I moved in with 3 other friends and split the bills. This is probably your best bet.

It's not that easy out there. It just seems glamorous to you right now. To not be told what, when, where, whom, and why. I wouldn't count on getting an apartment like that. To be able to move out, you must first proove to the courts that you can take care of yourself. With a job first of all. Have housing lined up. And have enough left over to pay the bills. Relax. Stay home while you can. Your parents really aren't as bad as you think right now. You will realize this later on in life. Just try to listen to them. They are not trying to be mean. They love you and only want you to be healthy and alive!

If you're thinking of moving just to be "free" of Mom & Dad, then think again. After you get a job...get a cheap place to live & the bills that come with it...do you need or have a car? If not, how can you afford one? If yes, can you pay for it...the insurance, gas and the upkeep? If you don't need one fine. Don't forget you have to feed yourself...buy clothes and all the other little things people tend to take forgranted at home...a lot of times, there's not a lot of $$$ left to go out and enjoy the "freedom" you won.

Why might want to you want to do something like that? Do you've a robust education, funds, or an section to bypass? Are your mothers and fathers dealing drugs or beating you? If no longer, then stay living house and end turning out to be. Leaving living house isn't all that folk say that is. Leaving in basic terms to have sex with a lover is a awful reason. you'll in common words be used and abused. imagine about it. you may also do analyze interior the internet.

Why don't you stay at home, pay your mother fifty bucks a month, and get yourself a high school diploma and then go to college.
Low income might be cheap for you, but the taxpayers pick up the amount that you don't pay. We sure as heck don't need anymore leeches sucking from the system.

I was on my own at 16, but I was at a University.....I don't suggest leaving home early looking for social service assistance, your setting yourself up for something that's now so glamorous, think of other options like a university commitment, or a part time job and Junior college....something other than social services....Good Luck..

I moved out at 16 and lived in an apartment where you pay "low-income" rent. However, when I had my daughter and got a real job, we had to move due to we exceeded income guidelines to live in our apartment. Honestly, if you don't have to do it, DON'T. I know it sounds good to be on your own, but don't leave the nest too early. You may regret it.

And just why do you think that it is ok for me and millions of other people to have to pay for your broke *** to move into a apartment? Get a job, save money, pay your bills, and the the extra is fun money. WOW.....tough concept to understand!!!

to completely leave home at 17 you would need an emancipation from your parents, meaning you would have to go before a judge and PROVE that you could support yourself totally. Its easier just to stay at home for another year.

It can be a hard world out there. Leave it a couple of years more before you move out - and make sure that you have cooking and food preparation skills before you go!
